Does the quick disconnect stay attached to the battery while driving the vehicle?

Yes, the pigtail comes with a rubber cover or the pigtail end that is not attached to the battery is a female connector. Either connector is safe to keep attached to the battery.

It does not, it comes with an alligator clamp set, and a semi permanent quick disconnect set that you could leave bolted on your battery terminals.

No, you can keep it connected while you use the battery system of your trailer. I believe that is what you are asking. But if you mean should it be disconnected while the trailer is moving I would say, yes.

As the others have stated, any direction should be fine. I will add though, in my experience, it depends on the pressure of the cable. 1/4 turn typically works to disconnect as long as the cable isn't pushing the metal back together. I have this in a couple of trucks and I usually leave the key in the ignition and the door open to hear the buzzer so that I know when it has truly disconnected (neither vehicle has a hood light). Works like a charm though.

I have never disconnected my vehicle battery during charging, Car or bike. The voltage applied from the charger ie equal to the battery so it should have no affect on the electronics. I have a BMW motorcycle and it's fully computer controlled and I keep it on the tender when I'm not riding. I have never had any issues with it being connected. I hope this helps.

Yes. You push and hold the button for a few seconds and it activates the disconnect. If you push and hold it again, it reconnects it.

All depends on how you connect it. If you are using the power ports in the car, some shut off when the vehicle is turned off some do not. Mine is wired directly to the battery.

Yes it is quick connect and disconnect. There is also a screw to keep it in place if u want it for a more permanent placement.

Just to be safe, I'd also unplug it from the car. The unit has a cigarette plug, or direct to battery clips. I'm not sure why one would disconnect the electric.

No.It connects to the battery harness with the quick connect that you need to get.This is an excellence addition for usb power.

Yes. It has a switch that slides forward and stays on. Plus it's very well balanced with the battery installed( of course you wouldn't use it without the battery).

It doesn't seem to be the case. I have had my trailer and car disconnected for periods of ~ 3 weeks without any problem. I don't remember reading or being warned about this. Good luck with your purchase.

Although not critical, most manufacturers highly recommend disconnecting the battery before removing/connecting MAF sensors. Failure to do so may introduce a spurious voltage spike into this sensitive device, thus maybe damaging/destroying it.

It does quick connect to the radio. The radio has small toggle type clamp that goes over the top of the connection, also their is a small set screw that can be tighten on the connection so that it does not come loose by accident.

I did not have to disconnect battery. worked fine. Be sure key is in off position.

I don't believe it's necessary to disconnect the car's battery, only make sure the key is in the "off" position, The instructions may tell you to disconnect it but doing so in a later BMW, you can set faults in the electrical/diagnostic system which may have to be cleared with a dealership level or higher end scanner

When the battery is fully charged it automatically switches to "trickle" mode to keep the battery topped up until you disconnect it.
